The Belgian player is a ‘prisoner’ of his massive contract: only Juventus could afford him. Pochettino is contemplating his move.
The future of Romelu Lukaku is still unwritten. The Belgian striker is expected to leave Chelsea in the last days of the transfer window, and Mauricio Pochettino, the Chelsea manager, commented on the situation ahead of the Premier League match against Luton Town.
‘If the club’s desire is to find a solution, it’s not up to me,’ he said in a press conference. ‘They need to come and talk to me. I can’t add up much at this point.’
The Argentine coach emphasizes that the situation it’s not within his control and when asked if there is any chance that the player will stay he added: ‘I’m here, and I accepted that the situation was like this when I arrived; it’s not something I could change. It doesn’t depend on me.
Lukaku is still waiting for Juventus:
Meanwhile, Lukaku is waiting for signals from Turin to understand if Vlahovic will Juventus or not: the Belgian, in fact, is not considering other destinations. There are no developments regarding the Vlahovic-Chelsea situation, so the Bianconeri are waiting for a move from the English club first.
On the other hand, there is no ongoing negotiation between Lukaku and Roma. The Giallorossi are very close to Sardar Azmoun, the Iranian forward born in 1995 from Bayer Leverkusen.
